Does this onion shampoo actually smell like onions? — KLASIKA Onion Shampoo, 550 ml

No. Although the shampoo is based on onion extract, the product description specifically says it has a pleasant scent without the characteristic onion note. That means you get the idea behind an onion shampoo — plant compounds from onion extract associated with toning the scalp — without the strong kitchen-like smell that often puts people off.

This matters for regular use. A shampoo only works as part of a routine, and if the smell is unpleasant, most people won't use it consistently. The absence of the onion note makes it easier to wash with it as often as your hair type needs, and it also means you don't have to worry about the scent lingering in your hair afterwards.

If you are still unsure, you can do a simple smell test after opening the bottle: the scent is noticeable at first but is described as pleasant, not onion-like. If you have a very sensitive nose, start by using a small amount and see how it feels during and after washing.
